Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...
First Show
The SimplyOutdoors' crew had a great time over the weekend - we got to converse with quite a few local Michigan residents, and we had a great time doing so.  It's always fun sharing stories with local hunters - and it was even fun talking with the non-hunters. We were definitely happy to see the weather hold out for us, too.  There was a chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire day, but,...

SOTV: Two New Videos

Posted By: Arthur on June 12, 2010 in Fishing, Hunting, Videos - Comments: No Comments »

It’s been way too long since we posted a new video for everyone to enjoy.  So, without making anyone wait another minute here are two new videos for everyone.

Pick your poison: You can watch kids catching night crawlers, and then a father/son duo using those worms to catch some nice bluegills.  Or you can watch Jeff and his buddy, Luke, trying to put a gobbler on the ground with a bow.

Whichever one you choose, I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Friday Video Treat: Two Turkeys on Film

Posted By: Arthur on May 13, 2010 in Hunting, Turkey, Videos - Comments: 1 Comment »

Since it’s almost Friday, I figured I would provide a little treat for all of our readers.

First, you can sit back, relax and watch Jeff’s stepson bag his first thunder chicken.

Second, if you have more time, you can kick back, relax and watch Jeff put his 2010 bird on the ground.  This video proves that hunting, under any conditions, can definitely pay off.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend.

The wife and I will be out this weekend trying to complete our season, and maybe create our own video.

On the Mend, and a New Vid

Posted By: Arthur on April 15, 2010 in Bass and Bluegill, Fishing, Videos - Comments: No Comments »

Thankfully, my cellulitis is finally on the mend; I almost feel human again.  Almost!  I just have to take it easy, not do anything too strenuous, and let the antibiotics do their thing.

In the meantime, and while I get geek-ed up and ready to get my wife sighted in this weekend for her first year of turkey hunting, check out the new video we have posted on SOTV.  It’s a typical fishing experience for those involved – sitting back and watching Jeff catch all the fish.  But it’s worth watching for Jeff’s safety tip at the end.

And, not only will you learn something, but you’ll get to see what all the rest of the SimplyOutdoors’ crew was doing last Sunday while I was almost dead.

Jerks!

SOTV: May ’09 Turkey Hunt – Dick & Tony

Posted By: Arthur on March 26, 2010 in Fishing, Hunting, Steelhead, Turkey, Videos - Comments: 1 Comment »

While four of the SimplyOutdoors’ crew head up to Baldwin to try our luck catching some steelhead, we figured we tide all of our wonderful readers over with a new video.

This video is from last May, and it features Jeff, along with a few new friends, chasing after a gobbler known in our parts as “Mr. Waddles”.

Enjoy the video, and you can expect a full fishing report sometime early next week.  Earlier this year, I wrote a post about how an electric barrier on the river was finally being turned off, and after reading one of the local reports, it appears that the barrier’s dormancy has had some positive effects.  We can’t wait!

But, regardless, fish or no fish, I’m sure we’ll manage to HAVE FUN!

SOTV: Fun on the Ice ’10

Posted By: Arthur on March 18, 2010 in Fishing, Videos - Comments: No Comments »

Check out the new video over on SimplyOutdoors TV.  This video is a short one, but worth the watch, because it captures the SimplyOutdoors’ crew, or entourage in this case, ice fishing on Houghton Lake.

Of course, the fishing was a little slow, but we still managed to find ways to have fun.  How?  Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out.
